The Surprisingly Grim Way to Brighten Your Monday

The Quicky

About this episode

What motivates you? Money, power, regret... how about death?

We dive into the science of death and deadlines and explore why some people find this thought intensely motivational while others descend into panic.

And in headlines today, The coalition's new energy policy puts affordability ahead of emissions reduction; US House speaker says releasing Epstein files will put allegations Trump has something to do with it to rest; Paris Hilton claims she is self-made; Taylor Swift is flying to London to shoot her next music video.
